Superdrug Tea Tree Skincare Range: Review

I am the first person to admit I am a little bit unadventurous when it comes to skincare. I tend to stick to the things I know work for me and I am very set in my ways (I've used Clinque since i was a teenager). But just recently, a combination of late nights, early mornings and general wear and tear has meant my skin has been more prone to the odd blemish or two. I'm always a little bit unsure about skincare reviews; everybody's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another - so i shall start by saying i have normal/combination skin and I don't suffer a lot with problem skin. However, when i do get a spot, it basically takes over my face :) LAVley.

'Tea Tree is a natural antibacterial agent known for it's antiseptic healing properties. Peppermint oil is renowned for its therapeutic effect on skin disorders and for its cooling sensation'

'With natural tea tree and peppermint oils and aloe vera extract. Enriched with Pro-Vitamin B5'

Tea Tree Moisturiser:

This feels really nice when applied, sinks in quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all. It also has a lovely cooling sensation when first applied which is great if your skin is feeling a little bit dull and tired. My skin does seem to appear 'calmed' after I've applied this and after a couple of weeks use looks generally more smooth and clear - it does contain aloe vera so it does seem to soothe any redness. I wouldn't recommend this if you have particularly dry skin as it isn't intensively moisturising and it sinks in extremely quickly. If you are put off by the smell of Tea Tree (because lets be fair it does have a tendency to knock your socks off slightly) then you may find the scent a little overpowering and it does linger for a good few minutes or so after application.

Tea Tree 'Spot Stick':

'Spot Stick'. Ew. It sounds a little bit disgusting doesn't it?  But it does what it says on the tube and that's all I'm fussed about. If i feel as if i have a particularly crafty little spot appearing, and lets face it they crop up at the most inconvenient of times..(oh hello birthday blemish... How nice of you to say hello..) i pop some of this on (usually before bed so it can work it's magic overnight). It doesn't make blemishes disappear altogether but it definitely makes them less noticeable and less 'angry' - and the healing process is noticeably sped up. It comes with a doefoot applicator, which i like the idea of but i stay away from using it to apply direct onto my skin; i hate the thought of spreading bacteria and it probably isn't the best choice of packaging, however, i just pop a little bit onto my finger and just dab a small amount on - it isn't much of an issue.

Overall

I really recommend this range if, like me, you haven't got acne-prone skin but have the odd little blemish now and again. The packaging is alright, fairly simple - it won't look exactly glamorous on your bathroom shelf, but it does the job and the products are of a nice size (and they don't break the bank - the two together must have cost me no more than £5)
